Data systems and modelling
Engineering how data is captured, historised, transformed and modelled so business logic and analytical outputs remain dependable.
Data engineering · software design · applied ML
I’m a Data Engineer who designs and improves the systems behind the business—from core transformation architecture and modelling to high-performance processing and applied customer science.
Core expertise
I work beyond individual pipelines: shaping the architecture, development practices and reusable capabilities that make an entire data function faster, safer and more effective.
Engineering how data is captured, historised, transformed and modelled so business logic and analytical outputs remain dependable.
Designing the modular class systems and shared transformation foundations used to build and operate data products consistently.
Reworking algorithms and execution patterns to make demanding workloads practical—delivering improvements from 20× to more than 500×.
Building customer science that moves from data and modelling into targeting, operational action and measurable commercial outcomes.
Career
Data engineering responsibility spanning architecture, modelling, performance, delivery standards and business-facing science.
Quickline Communications
AMP Automation
Selected engineering work
The strongest work does more than complete a requirement: it establishes a better pattern, removes a constraint or creates a capability the business did not have before.
Core data system
I created the core transformation framework and evolved it into an all-in-one repository and bundle-based system. Its modular class architecture now gives ingestion, transformation, history, business logic and analytical modelling a shared foundation—supported by the Git flow, CI/CD and release practices I introduced.
Architecture and engineering ownershipDistributed processing · 530× benchmark improvement
Co-developed a new Databricks algorithm that reduced an impractical search space, ranked 2.3 billion candidate matches and processed approximately 424,000 addresses in about 73 minutes. A 10,936-address benchmark fell from more than 12 hours to 81 seconds.
Approximately 94% of returned matches correctCustomer science
A new modelling initiative used across the business, especially by Customer Experience, to identify patterns associated with poor NPS outcomes and support preventative action.
Business-facing scienceApplied machine learning · 3× pilot result
Led the technical ML lifecycle from ingestion and dataset construction through feature engineering, model development, scoring and evaluation. The work identified thousands of high-potential prospects and informed a commercial pilot that achieved approximately three times the baseline success rate.
Models translated into customer targetingHistorical data · 48× faster backfill
Designed a new method for reconstructing historical outputs from table state and deriving change records without repeatedly recomputing the full history. A complete backfill fell from approximately four hours to five minutes while creating a reusable pattern for future workloads.
Four hours reduced to five minutesUniversity honours project
A full-stack application for analysing household energy use, estimating device-level consumption and presenting cost-saving recommendations.
Project media to be addedEngineering approach
I take responsibility for the foundations around delivery: how work is structured, tested, released, optimised and connected to a business outcome. The result is data engineering that leaves the wider capability stronger than it found it.
Own the foundation. Create the architecture, shared patterns and delivery practices other work can build on.
Remove the constraint. Question inherited approaches and redesign them when performance, scale or maintainability can be materially better.
Deliver business leverage. Turn reliable data and science into decisions, operational action and measurable outcomes.
